What are some good domain register places? I need one that will forward a URL address too.


Thanks

Well I know redirection.net offers this, errrr... possibly registerfly.com (possibly), or it might have been another one that I am thinking of but can't quite remember at this moment. The $8.88 one... *sigh* ohhh well. Hopes this gets you going in the right direction at least.

I've been really happy with

dotster.com

Go to their site, I believe it's in the FAQs section where you can find all their features.

Also prices start at under $10/year for a domain (10-year commitment) and last night I registered two domains for just one year for $14.95 each. No 2-year initial contract! Woo-hoo!

Also been very pleased with their service. They have seemed pretty solid in my experience.

Of course, your mileage may vary...

The best one I have ever used is gkg.net. BUT they don't do redirection. I heard redirection.net is good.

If you do a search here on 000domains.com, you'll find a large number of us that have been very pleased with them. All of the Open SRS RSPs use their Domain Manager, which allows for making changes fast and easy. From personal experience, I know they answer questions rapidly also. On the two occasions (regarding transfers) I communicated with them, I received an answer in a half hour or less (about 20 minutes the first time).

At $13.50, they are cheap enough for me. I've used slightly cheaper registrars (like alldns.com) and regretted it. They are terrible.

I know 000domains.com does free parking, though I don't believe they do redirection. However, there are free services that do redirection if you need it. I know someone who uses mydomain.com and there are others.

Excellent support and done through Look Communications. Pretty cheap too, $20.00 CDN a year.

They do not offer redirection, but you can signup for a free account at Mydomain.com and change the nameservers on your domain through OpenSRS to point to the mydomain.com nameservers. Really cool stuff, free domain pointing at http://www.mydomain.com

Hope this helps,

That was it alpha. One of those two uses enom which offers a pretty decent amount of control (even DNS) for your domains. I've heard that the DNS can be problematic, but I think overall it is fine. I get those two confused for some reason.

Registerfly.com DOES do redirection. I don't know if it's in their info or faq pages anywhere, but it's easily done through the control panel. Registration is $9.99 per year, no contract past the year you pay. I've had nothing but great experiences with them.
